Under the hood, EVERY piece of original spark plug routing hardware is missing. Does anyone have good pictures or list of hardware I need to keep them away from block so I stop melting them ?? Either stock or aftermarket, doesn't matter.

For the wire holders in the back, take a look here --- http://docrebuild.com/dr-r-web/PLUG-WIRE.PDF .

As far as all the tin, I have no idea.

I posted a request like this a few months back and did a bit of research (as best as I could from the UK). I couldn't find one supplier of the original or re-mfrd parts. Also a lot of replies came back that there was no sheilding on a 1980, the leads were just cable tied down the back of the engine bay and came 'up and under' to the plugs. I lost a couple of leads through them getting fried too and wanted to find a solution.
Ive got one article I'll mail to you that explains it quite well and has one photo.
In the end, however, I went for a set of Taylor spiro pro and routed them down the back and up&under as others sugessted. Works well and looks good but is probably not exactly original. I can mail you a couple of pics of that, if its any help.

What is the link and send me the photos. tom.ard@***.net
Thanks a bunch. Looks like docrebuild has the hardware but I have yet to order it.

My 80 has shields that are "L" shaped and fit under the manifolds along side of the oil pan. The forward 2 plugs on each side route thru this, and the rear 2 plugs just drop down behind the block, and into place. I have 4-slot retainers behind the block, to hold the wires in place.
I'm sorry but I dont have a digital camera, to snap some shots with.
